[PATCH 5/5] PCI/quirks: Avoid certain BAR 0 address with igb

From: Ilpo Järvinen

Date: Wed Sep 23 2026 - 09:21:49 EST


While testing the resource placement changes, my tests hit a case where
igb fails to probe when BAR 0 is placed at 0x9c000000:

90000000-9cffffff : PCI Bus 0000:a0
- 90000000-902fffff : PCI Bus 0000:a1
- 90000000-900fffff : 0000:a1:00.0
- 90000000-900fffff : igb
- 90100000-901fffff : 0000:a1:00.0
- 90200000-90203fff : 0000:a1:00.0
- 90200000-90203fff : igb
+ 9be00000-9c0fffff : PCI Bus 0000:a1
+ 9be00000-9befffff : 0000:a1:00.0

+ 9c000000-9c0fffff : 0000:a1:00.0

igb: Failed to read reg 0x18!

Apparently, the igb driver bails out, after its initial sanity check
detects an unexpected ~0 read. Hacking around the sanity check just
results in more failures down the road so the sanity check itself is not
the cause for the failure.

The resource placement looks valid so the actual placement patches seem
to work normally.

All other possible 1M address I could test (with a hack patch) did work.

Add quirk to reshuffle igb resources, use BAR 3 to block the problematic
address.

I know this is ugly and I don't like it either but do not know better
way to avoid the regression.

I've tried with iommu=off and that did not resolve the issue.

I also managed to prove igb works with the same resource layout in
another system. So identifying the case should probably be tightened
by matching with more devices than the one used by igb. This is open
to discussion.
